H&R Sport Springs

[mzbmw325i]

I wanted to ask where you guys purchased your springs from, is the tirerack the only place that I can find with descent prices on those set of springs.

Depends on how much you want to spend to include shipping. Do a Google search. It should show you a ton of places. Here you go.
Good luck.

from additional extensive search/research i see that the H&R sports do come in different options, does the coloring indicate the drop, i read the red sports give lower drop, # 29664 sport springs, anyone has these and can comment? thanks

You would probably be happy with h&R Sport springs, I don't know if there are differences, i think with the sport you would get a 1-1.5inch drop all around. Race springs drop it really low. On the H&R site it list the part number as 50406 and they say approx drop of 1.3 inches.

I'm rolling H&R's and mine sits low, very low. I would have to lift it to see the numbers on the springs to tell you (got them off a wrecked 320i over here) but it's about 1.5" all around. I also had to use bump stops on the rear shocks 'cause my tires rubbed.

the reason i ask for the difference on the H&R sport spring set is because the link below has the red sport spring type, i thought they were the race but it says sport, on tirerack they are black or something and it lists to drop 1.3 inches, where the red 1.5, i am leaning on them so i might pull the trigger this weekend.

a little update, i got a reply from turnermotorsport regardng the red sport springs, answer below:

"Disregard the color of the spring, it means nothing.

The difference is the drop and the rate.

50406: 190LB front, 343LB rear
29664: 180LB front, 285LB rear"

make sense to anyone else? seems to me that they said "don't worry about the color, it doesn't mean anything except the size of the drop."

[nick_318is]

Use the 50406, thats what H&R specifically has listed as the part number for your car, plus you should like the extra stiffness.

bilsteins/koni's r too expensive for my budget, has anyone tried other shocks with the H&R sport springs.

what do u guys think of the tokico HP series struts and shocks (front and rear about $230), would they be a good fit?

Hi,

decided to bump the thread and ask if any one is using or know how the below springs are? i just can't decide between the eibach pro and H&r sport springs, vogtland and now these.

Bavarian Autosport Performance Springs

[nick_318is]

E30tech.com is thinking of doing a group buy on the IE race stage 3 springs which is a similar stance to the H&R Sport might want to look into them they are good springs and I think a pretty decent price if they get enough people.

http://www.e30tech.com/forum/showthread.php?t=50581

I haven't heard anything about the BAV Auto springs. If i made a recommendation it would be the IE springs or the H&R based off of what I have heard.

[denyo77]

I got Eibach Pro, and I'm very happy with them
they lowered the car about 40 mm all round

[mzbmw325i]

i am getting close to deciding on the springs...

i am stuck on vogtland sports and h&r sports...any one here with the vogtlands, i read pretty good reviews from other forums i ran into on them.
